Kim Kardashian Perfume

Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim's Twitter, Reggie Bush...I am pretty much a huge fan of Kim Kardashian. and now she has both a new fragrance and an app for the IPhone. I haven't checked out the app yet but today we have going to check out the fragrance. The fragrance is housed in a deep plum bottle that is round and very curvy. Not a giant shock...

This fragrance was released only to Sephora and there were a ton of parties held at the different stores to launch this fragrance. I read everyday on Twitter about when Kim would come to the parties and her reactions to her fans. Sephora describes this fragrance, "TV star, entrepreneur, model, actress, and trendsetter Kim Kardashian adds another accomplishment to her portfolio: a trademark fragrance. Discover the sensual scent inspired by one of the world's most idolized women. The essence evokes Kim's sultry style with crisp top notes, lush mid notes, and a sexy drydown. Gorgeous, voluptuous florals reflect her allure, while soft jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia mirror her feminity. Tonka bean, jacaranda wood, and sandalwood add a warm, sensual base."

Here are the notes of the fragrance - Mandarin, Honeysuckle, Orange Blossom, Pink Jasmine, Tuberose, Sensual Spice, Lush Gardenia, Jacaranda Wood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Orchid, Sexy Musk, Creamy Sandalwood.

This fragrance is available in three sizes of EDTs and a roll-on fragrance. I don't know that I will like this fragrance due to gardenia being one of the heart notes. Gardenia combined with the other floral note of tuberose might make this fragrance too "white" for me. Gardenia gives me a headache in high doses so I doubt this one will work out for me. I like the jasmine and honeysuckle notes in it but I think they won't be enough to temper down the gardenia.

I wish that I liked this fragrance because I love Kim and I think that this might be one of the few celebrity fragrances that actually capture the allure of it's namesake. However, I believe that the main notes of gardenia will be too much for me to stand it for very long.
